It seems like Paul Greene just gifted fans an early dose of Christmas cheer; and yep, we’re loving every second of it. The actor, musician, and all-around holiday movie favorite just shared a massive 49-photo slideshow from his time filming Hallmark’s “A Christmas Detour,” and honestly, it’s the kind of throwback we didn’t know we needed.
An Epic Paul Greene Throwback Post
“#ThrowbackThursday to my Second Hallmark Christmas movie — A Christmas Detour with the amazing @candacecbure. 🎄,” Greene wrote on Instagram. He went on to call it “one of the best sets I’ve ever been on — filled with laughter, Connevtion, love and memories. ❤️” Typos and all, that “Connevtion” honestly feels on brand; because fans know exactly how connected this cast still feels years later.
Greene added, “Hard to believe how much magic that movie created… and it’s still one of the fan favorites after all these years.” And let’s be real, he’s absolutely right. “A Christmas Detour” remains one of those comfort-watch holiday staples that people keep on their DVR year-round.
The slideshow played to Greene’s own song, “Bringing Christmas Home,” which he originally wrote for another Hallmark film of the same name he starred in with Jill Wagner. “Felt like the perfect fit for this throwback,” he said; and yeah, it really was. There’s something extra special about hearing his own music paired with the nostalgia of one of his earliest Hallmark hits.
Fans Are Still Obsessed With ‘A Christmas Detour’
If there’s one thing Hallmark fans know how to do, it’s show up in the comments; and they did not disappoint. One follower wrote, “It’s a tie between A Wish for Christmas & Christmas In Angel Falls. They are both so good! 🎄❤️” Another added, “Always love the way you bring Christmas Home @paulgreeneofficial 😍😍❤️❤️.”
Some fans admitted they never stopped watching, with one saying, “The best movie!!! I keep it recorded year round ❤️,” and another chiming in, “Just watched it on Hallmark. It’s a great movie.” Someone else summed it up best: “Loved this video and great bts photos! 😍 wonderful movie, cast and director! Like many, this movie kept me watching and loving all of your movies! 🥰🎄💚”
It seems like “A Christmas Detour” still holds its spot as one of Hallmark’s feel-good favorites. Fans can’t stop rewatching it, and let’s be honest; neither can we.
A New Holiday Reunion Is on the Way
But Greene didn’t stop there. He ended the post with a little gift for fans… a teaser for his brand-new movie Great American Family movie with Candace Cameron Bure. “Can’t wait to share my new movie with Candace — Timeless Tidings of Joy — coming your way this season. ✨”
So yep, the dream team is back together. If “A Christmas Detour” was magic, “Timeless Tidings of Joy” might just be the ultimate reunion fans have been waiting for. Between the nostalgia, the chemistry, and the promise of another cozy holiday story, it sounds like Paul Greene’s next project could be this year’s can’t-miss Christmas hit. Keep your eye on the Great American Family pages for all the updates.
Until then, fans can relive the laughter, the love, and all those behind-the-scenes memories in his slideshow; and maybe cue up “A Christmas Detour” for yet another rewatch. Some things never go out of season.
